Every summer Film Night in the Park puts on free outdoor movies in parks throughout San Francisco. Films are shown in beautiful park settings and projected on a giant outdoor screen. bring blankets, pillows, backrests, and low chairs. Popcorn, candy and sodas will be sold. This Film Night in the Park features Sixteen Candles, one of the most iconic romantic comedies from the 80s.

On the eve of her sister’s wedding, suburban teenager Samantha (Molly Ringwald) suffers silently as her family forgets her birthday. Even worse, some total dork (Anthony Michael Hall) keeps propositioning her with sophomoric innuendo when she really craves romantic attention from high-school hunk Jake (Michael Schoeffling).

Moving from Samantha’s family home as it’s invaded by outre relatives to a high-school dance where nothing seems to go her way, this bittersweet teen comedy traces the hopes and disappointments of not only Samantha, but also a host of incidental but memorable characters, from a hapless Japanese exchange student to a prom queen and a posse of barely pubescent nerds. A climactic party scene at which these various strata of young America overcome their rigid hierarchies sets the stage for resolutions both tender and torrid.
